Die Laughing posted:Speaking of the change in Spider-Man between when Ditko was on the book, and when Romita took over, CBR talks about a Grant Morrison story that could have been. http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2014/05/09/comic-book-legends-revealed-470/ Isn't Grant Morrison considered to be close to insane in all seriousness? It's either him or Frank Miller I heard that about... Because that entire quote just feels unhinged and weird.

A few days ago, I saw a book about Spider-Man hanging out at B&N for about $25. It was The World According to Spider-Man. I really like the writer who did it as it was funny and pretty detailed look into Spider-Man's world that some of the comics just don't get into (especially not any of the comics by Slott). Does this writer have any actual Spidey titles he's done? Is the book canon and thus worth picking up? I mean I wouldn't be buying it for $25 because Amazon.com clearly has it for $18 but...yeah. It has a lot of neat things like little fake Avengers IDs for Spidey, a report card for him, a letter from JJ...etc.

Finally caught up with Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man...still not sure if I like where they're going with this Peter Parker thing but I think he's still dead. At least I hope.

It's kinda hard to argue with the perspective that a person's mind should be inviolate. Does tinfoil actually work like that in the Marvel Universe (or, hell, in ANY comic book universe)?

That comic was offensively bad... At least she'll be dead in a year or less and no one will speak of her ever again. Also, am I the only person who really doesn't like the art? It's got too many straight lines and angles and just is unpleasant for me to look at...

FabioClone posted:Wait, she was supposed to be Asian? I must have missed the name and I totally didn't get that from the art. Looking at it now, I guess I can see it, but man those faces are horrible. It's hard to tell ethnicity when everyone looks like they're rabid. This is exactly what I'm talking about. They feel like dirty, quick sketches that they decided to add color to instead of actually finishing the sketch. I just don't think he can draw people. Slott's writing was, for me, worse than usual. The line about him not dodging the slap because she was so fast...really? Dacap posted:Amadeus Cho wears the Iron Spider armor in the USM cartoon now Not anymore.  Green Goblin destroyed the suit as of the most previous two episodes. He's just kind of...there now. I don't care what kind of BS speech Spider-Man gave him...he's 100% useless in battle and ended up having to run for his life many times.

Suben posted:female is Spider-Bitch from Old Man Logan (ain't Mark Millar a charming fellow?) I read this comic. It felt like a comic I was not supposed to read. I don't know how I feel about it. It felt gory just for the sake of it...kind of like Ultimate Marvel's Ultimatum. Oddly enough, I think the artist who did OML's art did Ultimatum's too.

You guys are making me want to marathon Spider-Man TAS... I don't think I can read ASM anymore it's just not worth it. The art's meh at best, the writing is God-awful. I remember reading Arkham Asylum: Living Hell and just being in love with Slott's work. Where did he go so wrong? What the gently caress happened? He turned into a manchild who can't take critics on Twitter and a bad author in comics.

Oh my God this is awesome. I started out with Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends so this is something new to me. I love how they apparently said Spider-Man couldn't hit anyone so he just ended up running away a lot and got tired. Also his spider-sense just kind of disappeared halfway through. Loved it. People hating on Dan Slott, I completely understand as his current ASM stuff is loving awful and his attitude on Twitter is worse...but I have one question. How did you feel about the Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions game because Slott wrote that.

So I finally got caught up with the Incursion thing that Hickman's doing. You know that morbid feeling of absolute dread you get when you see a character you give a poo poo about in a work of fiction get into a scenario that seems outright impossible to get out of and you just think "Welp. This is it."? Yeah, it feels like that all the way through, really. Anyway, Spider-Verse feels like Dan Slott just kind of randomly overheard Hickman and the EIC talk about the event while roaming Marvel HQ and he decided he'd get in on it too but ONLY with Spider-Man but he kind of fucks it all up because he's bad at writing out his ideas.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Exact same boat, plus being freaking starved for Spider-stuff. Scarlet Spider was scratching that itch in his run but then he was gone and all that was left was New Warriors, Ultimate Spidey was also good but for the past half year (more?) it's been on a downward spiral, then some Spider-verse one-shots were good and I'm ecstatic over having two Spider-people to read about monthly with Silk and Spider-Gwen. Pretty sure the cartoon is dead.

I'm starting to hear from people around here that Miles will most lilkely only be the main Spider-Man for about 1 year until Marvel puts Peter as the main again (probably at the insistence of Slott). Hopefully this isn't likely but yeaah...don't know if I'd put that past Slott... EDIT: "Here" being local comic shops, probably should've clarified.

Probably Magic posted:I dunno, the way Slott was acting arguing with Byrne was that Miles being the main lead is their way of "Having their cake and eating it too." So Slott is allowed to do whatever the gently caress he wants to do with Peter now because Miles can be the more traditional Peter story. Which is still stupid because Peter and Miles are different characters and Peter stories should still go to Peter, but whatever. I could see them moving to Peter just to have synergy with the movies. Though, I could see them focus on a Spider-Men type team up mini-series or something instead..

sigmachiev posted:Was Betty Brant technically Peter's first girlfriend or was it Gwen Stacy? I think a radio show in San Diego might have screwed a guy out of comicon tickets because the show got the answer wrong, but Im not totally sure. They said it was Gwen, the caller (and me) thought it was Betty. The station was wrong, Betty Brant dated him first (thus was his first girlfriend) but Gwen was his first serious relationship until she died.

Considering it's ComiCon passes, yeah that's understandable. They probably just went on Wikipedia or asked some local nerd who only saw the movies or something and didn't fact check first.

Gaz-L posted:Which Spider-Verse is. It's getting a new name, but there's an ongoing by the same creative team, featuring the same characters launching after SW ends. What's the new Spider Verse title? http://kotaku.com/spider-man-s-daughter-just-wants-to-be-like-her-dad-1725080949 I know, it's Kotaku, but it seems most seem to like RYV for whatever reason. One commenter even claims Slott "revitalized" Spider-Man for them after OMD. Is it really decent or is it like everything else Slott does and its lackluster after a few issues and has no meaningful end?

Wheat Loaf posted:It's sort of like how you got all these Doctor Who stories in the 1980s written or influenced by the input of turbo-fans which were sequels to stories from the 1960s that a) had never been released on home video; and b) were often believed to have been wiped from the BBC tape archives. (There's one story from 1986 which is a sequel to a 1966 story which, at the time, was believed to no longer exist.) I thought those were still lost.
